Luis Sanchez, IBM Consulting's global Oracle Supply Chain lead, examines how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped supply chain thinking — and how AI is now accelerating that strategic shift. He frames supply chain challenges as fundamentally math problems (balancing supply, demand, cost, and speed), and explains how AI's ability to run simulations, surface trade-off recommendations, and compress reaction time is transformative for planners. Drawing on IBM's own complex hardware supply chain as a Client Zero example, Luis advises organizations to resist the urge to boil the ocean: start with one or two high-impact use cases, operationalize them quickly, and use those wins to build internal momentum for a broader three-to-five year AI roadmap.

Kankayan Sengupta from IBM Consulting explains how cloud infrastructure has evolved from a back-end technical concern into a defining element of enterprise AI strategy. He walks through how AI has changed every layer of the infrastructure stack — compute, networking, storage, governance, and cost modeling — and shares IBM's Client Zero results, including an "Ask HR" solution that resolved 94% of employee queries autonomously and reduced HR operational costs by 40%. The conversation covers key decision frameworks around cloud topology, data readiness, and the organizational and operating model changes that cloud adoption demands. Kankayan closes with a forward-looking view spanning intelligence orchestration, AI memory, small language models, multimodal AI, and edge AI — trends that will reshape enterprise infrastructure over the next three to five years.

In the race to modernize the enterprise, the debate is no longer about choosing one ecosystem over another; it's about extending value from your existing SAP investment without introducing fragility. While SAP excels at integrating the "Core" within its own ecosystem, the modern enterprise lives everywhere else—from legacy on-prem systems to the burgeoning frontier of AI agents. Join ERP Today and MuleSoft for an executive-level deep dive into the Co-Exist Strategy. We explore how organizations are maintaining a clean SAP core while using MuleSoft as the universal connective tissue for everything outside of it—regardless of where you are in your S/4HANA journey.

Most organizations are still making critical business decisions on top of rigid planning cycles, fragmented data, and limited AI adoption—slowing their response to disruption and constraining innovation before it starts. Drawing on new IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) research, this session explores how finance leaders can break through those structural barriers by modernizing their operating model and establishing a connected, AI-enabled finance backbone. You will see how integrated data platforms and AI-powered forecasting can sharpen decision speed, strengthen governance, and position finance as the function guiding capital to its highest-value opportunities across the enterprise. We will walk through a practical roadmap for shifting to a dynamic, value-based finance operating model—one that aligns finance with enterprise decision bodies and elevates finance talent into true strategic partners. Using IBV findings alongside real-world practices, we will show how embedded AI, adaptive planning cadences, and agile budgeting models work together to deliver more accurate forecasts, more effective capital allocation, and faster transformation outcomes. You will leave with concrete steps to evaluate your organization's current maturity and build an execution plan that balances speed, trust, and control. Why Watch - IBV research findings reveal why traditional planning and finance structures are holding back decision speed, innovation, and AI adoption at scale - A practical blueprint for a dynamic, value-based finance operating model built on integrated data platforms and AI-enabled planning - How leading organizations are applying AI-powered forecasting and scenario modeling to improve forecast accuracy and accelerate capital deployment - Actionable guidance to assess your finance organization's maturity and prioritize near-term moves toward an AI-enabled finance backbone

Oracle customers migrating to Oracle Cloud ERP and OCI often hit tax and compliance roadblocks—from planning, lift-and-shift to OCI (e.g., Oracle E-Business Suite), modernization, to post-go-live optimization. Watch ERP Today's "Turning Transformation into Tax Advantage with Vertex" webinar, where Marc Duclos and experts tackle the “tax moment” in migrations: where risks emerge in design, data, testing, or go-live; when tax should shape processes, data models, integrations, and controls; and day-one success criteria like accuracy, auditability, visibility, speed. Learn to align tax automation with your roadmap by scoping countries, tax types, volume, controls, reporting, and mandates—so tax isn’t a blocker or afterthought. Get Vertex integration best practices for lift-and-shift vs. ERP modernization (connectivity, data mapping, error handling), avoid gotchas like timing and testing, and explore post-migration priorities: e-invoicing mandates, analytics (margin impact, audit heatmaps), AI anomaly detection (duplicates, exemptions), plus live Q&A on data issues and future-proofing. Watch now to learn how to: - Pinpoint tax risks across migration phases and influence decisions early (process, data, integrations, controls). - Define day-one cloud tax success (accuracy, auditability, visibility, speed) and beat blockers like data quality, governance. - Integrate Vertex without IT burden in lift-and-shift to OCI or Cloud ERP modernization. - Validate tax confidence (edge cases, audit trails) and monitor for continuous compliance. - Prep for e-invoicing, AI detection, scenario modeling, and tax analytics dashboards.

Robert Holland sits down with Jay Feynman, CFO of Tester Construction, to discuss how moving from QuickBooks to Acumatica’s cloud ERP transformed the company’s operations. Jay shares how the pandemic forced them to rethink outdated, paper-heavy processes and how real-time data, stronger controls, and streamlined reporting gave the business agility to weather disruption, improve efficiency, and support project teams in the field. He explains how better financial insight, faster month-end closes, and reduced overhead have not only strengthened resilience but also positioned Tester to adapt quickly to future challenges. Watch now to hear how Acumatica helped turn disruption into long-term competitive advantage.

Robert Holland talks with Manish Chandrak, President & CEO of Tech Electronics, about the company’s rapid move to Acumatica Cloud ERP and how it’s already transforming their operations just four months post–go live. Manish highlights the hidden costs of disconnected systems, from redundant communication and delayed responses to inefficiencies in licensing and reporting, and explains how Acumatica’s connected, real-time data now empowers field technicians, streamlines workflows, and improves customer experience. He also shares why ERP success depends on a business-first mindset and leadership engagement, and looks ahead to how open platforms, IoT, and AI will further shape the future of connected enterprises.

Robert Holland speaks with Matt Shamp, Executive Director at Carlson Levine Construction, about leading the company’s transition to Acumatica Cloud ERP in 2021 and the lasting impact since go-live. Matt explains how moving away from rigid, IT-gatekept systems empowered frontline managers to shape their own processes, access real-time data, and create custom reports without costly customizations or delays. He highlights how this flexibility improves client relationships, supports lean operations, and scales with business needs through consumption-based pricing. Matt also reflects on managing generational differences in technology adoption, the importance of setting boundaries around system flexibility, and how technology fluency is becoming as essential for leaders as financial literacy—reshaping executive roles for the future.
